Even Over
02:59
|

The heart it still a talk heart it still a talk
the universe a talk universe a talk
the heart it still a talk soul it still a talk
Back to school like a beginner
affi learn to light up the dark I’m living inna
not the kind of light weh do all the glitter and the glimmer
but the kind weh shine on both the loser and the winner
shed pon the outer and the inner
over anything thicker or thinner
shine pon unno from lunch to dinner
even over the good and bad saint or sinner
Spark a light nothing is ever gone
spark a light we will be triumphant
spark a light and mi affi go so
spark a light
Alambic Conspiracy dis a warning
the world turn wicked and wicked and it no funny
all you can hear around is weeping and moaning
but there’s a blaze weh bun from dust till dawning
and even when the dark times come crashing inna
and when the road get ruff yuh affi tuff inna yah
and it’s a seven time rise and a seven time fall
but put up unno hand and follow mi now
Medias talk the same shit ah weh happen everyday
now look how many families dem a bawl inna wi place
now hustlers dem live depon dem crack and cocaine
brake down tear down ah we dem lack off
but if a man dung memba seh another man come
kill wi body in every way but dem cyaan kill wi soul
stand inna yuh center and di devil run
tell me now ah who di king with the crown

Then she calls at night cries at night

Wipe Away (feat. Jah9)
04:32
|
|||
Wipe away those tears
wipe away those tears
woman dry your eyes
‘cause we’ll have nothing to cry for
wipe away those tears
wipe away those tears
children have the right to grow up in the light
wipe away those tears
wipe away those tears
woman dry your eyes
‘cause we’ll have nothing to cry for
wipe away those tears
wipe away those tears
children have the right to live their own life
How life coulda be outta the ghetto
how if we set the people free from outta the ghetto
erase mental slavery no personal ghetto
wrong beliefs a paralize oh what a ghetto
as yuh breath in an breath outa breath out an breath in
realize life’s divine an thanks yuh gwaan give Him
nuh worry mi nuh hide I’m the mirror of what I’m living
really need to feel my heart beating
Earth’s Rightful Ruler
greatest example for the fatherless
breaking the chains for those the Father bless
who walk in the path of righteousness
as you breathe in and breathe out breathe out and breathe in
control the thought mind mastering
life is not that hard with the right discipline
and gratitude for all that you’ve been given
No nyam no dirt mi tell yuh no mek no trash
no love no money mi seh no worship no cash
no badda live fast becaw your life a go crash
everything is just fi a time so stay focus and no rush
fool’s mouth a talk mi tell yuh fool’s mouth a talk
but a bare wise man pave the way inna the past
deep knowledge a the key mi tell yuh fi put it pon top
mek sure yuh have a clear mind a clear soul a clean heart
So no time for crying don’t let Babylon see your tears
no bagga talking time to utilize those ears
with preparation you can eliminate the fears
and secure the generations for years and years
food and shelter are just basic needs
man requires more to truly love the life he leads
but how the system set you cannot reach your goals with ease
so only Jah can bring you perfect peace
